Best Practices
Use consistent naming conventions (e.g., Station 1 Kits, Engine Company Kits, EMS Supervisor Kits).
Avoid overly broad group names that reduce filtering usefulness.
Review group assignments regularly to ensure kits are correctly associated.
Establish internal guidelines for who can create or modify groups.
Use Position ordering to align with operational structure (e.g., alphabetical by station, battalion order).
